What an event! Congratulations to our two amazing citrus talents - Sandile Mathebula from Macdarin Farm in the Mbombela area, and Lungelo Sithole from KMI Farming, also in the Mbombela region. Sandile was 2nd runner up and Lungelo won the award for best song in an indigenous language. It was their first ever trip to the Western Cape - and they truly wowed the crowd in the Cape Winelands. Thanks for a great evening, Agri's Got Talent. #citrusindustry #citrus #agrisgottalent
